[Slackbuilds-users] Lua 5.4 upgrade

[Diego Borghetti]

Hi,

I think we need to keep lua-lpeg using lua51.

Neovim uses luajit and last time I checked, that was still using 5.1.

lua-lpeg build fine using 5.4, but you get runtime errors because of the mismatch with neovim.

I will pull the branch tonight and do some testing.
